Early the next morning, a Foundation Engineering Team formally gathered in Wood Forest Land.
Old George arrived as promised, driving his well-maintained old Ford, with his beloved concrete mixer loaded in the truck bed.
Lin Yu'an had already replaced the Xu Gong loader with the auger attachment rented from Fairbanks.
David and Mike stood ready; they knew that a true hardcore performance was about to unfold!
"Alright, boys!"
Old George shouted loudly, like an experienced foreman.
"Our first goal today is to penetrate all the pile holes! Lin, you operate the loader for drilling, and I'll be responsible for directing and calibrating the verticality!"
"What about Stan?" David asked curiously.
Stan smiled, "My task is to call for help; with just the two of us old fellas, we can't get much done."
Now the battle against permafrost officially began!
Lin Yu'an drove the Xu Gong XC760K, aiming the massive auger drill head at the first marked point on the foundation outline.
